LiPo packs for transportation strike me as a bit novel. My image of LiPo is high power density to weight at the expense of energy density and the physical robustness of conventional li-ion.Bolloré's 12-meter (39-foot) long electric buses can transport up to 109 passengers and offers an estimated driving range of up to 320 kilometers (199 miles) from Lithium Metal Polymer (LMP) battery packs totaling 441 kWh of stored energy.
Thats what Id like to know too.Why are the batteries on the roof?

Can't help but wonder if the choice of LiPo chemistry necessitated this design choice.If they ignite, flames travel upwards. On the roof... passengers can exit underneath the flames, being only broiled, like a whopper. Underneath the belly... flames engulf the bus, leaving a nice crust on the passengers/kebabs.
Probably better protected from vehicular impacts also.
Buses need to ride low to the ground to better accommodate people with disabilities - if they put the batteries underneath they would be vulnerable to road damage.Thats what Id like to know too.
Guess it's more appropriate to say when they ignite. but still all that molten aluminum and crap will rain down on them I would think.
And the children like Whopper Juniors! 🔥 🔥On the roof... passengers can exit underneath the flames, being only broiled, like a whopper.
